Exercis, Is the Concpet working?
As you know every night when you turn on the tv you constantly see advertisments for exercise programs, diets, or even surgery options. However if you take a look at the statistics below you can see that obvisouly we are not paying attention to the adds. Ex: Between 1962 and the year 2000, the number of obese Americans grew from 13% to an alarming 31% of the population.-- 63% of Americans are overweight with a Body Mass Index (BMI) in excess of 25.0.-- 31% are obese with a BMI in excess of 30.0.-- Childhood obesity in the United States has more than tripled in the past two decades.-- According to the U.S. Surgeon General report obesity is responsible for 300,000 deaths every year.) These results here show that anymore americans are getting more and more lazy. This is not good for anyone kids, adults or even elders. Because when adults are obese, there kids see the size and habits that their parents have and figure that it is okay, when clearly it is very dangerous. We can always keep touching base on this subject but no matter what we say, read or write its all going to come down to what Americans do. It takes will power to want to get into shape. Drugs are not going to help, or surgery in the long run. The only answer to being helathy and in shape is proper diet and exercise. I hope that as the years pass this subject will keep coming up until it starts to show in society.

SELF/UNIT FEEDBACK
Thanks for feedback. I posted these to the course forum without a name since they were supposed to be anonymous. I hope you were also able to do the college online course eval questionnaire—see link in Unit three eval section if you didn’t do it yet. Thanks again.
COMPENDIUM ONE—NERVOUS FUNCTION
COMPENDIUM TWO—MOVEMENT
Both compendiums are sensational in their completeness and organization. I didn’t see any photos for nervous function—is that right?
LAB ONE—LEECH NEURONS
LAB TWO—MUSCLE FUNCTION
Great job—nice photos and excellent analysis.
LAB PROJECT—BUILD-A-LIMB.
Wow, it even looks edible at the end! And I think you’re only the second student to post a video. But most impressive all the piece and how you describe them and they make sense Way to go!
ESSAY—EXERCISE/ACTIVITY. Worrisome trends—any thought on what, besides more attempts to increase public awareness, that will bring about change in people’s behaviors!
Kristin…great job! I love the movie of the limb and it’s overall construction and how it all makes sense. Your work is outstanding—keep it up!
